Murder-Suicide in Nevada

dublinman1990

I was watching this on RTÉ News a short while ago. An Irish woman from Kerry has been killed in a murder-suicide in Nevada. A husband & wife in their 50's & 2 teenagers who attend the local high school were found dead in their home by police in Reno.

They have been officially named by police in Reno.

The woman who died is known as 53 year-old Jane Huber.

Her husband 50 year old Adam Huber with their 2 sons 17-year-old Adam and 16-year-old Michael were also found dead.

I have to admit this story is grim. I don't know what else to say over it only to say that I'm speechless. R.I.P.

An American family , mother was Irish ?

It's not an Irish family from Kerry. It's a woman from Kerry who has been in the US for 30 years.

Christ, I know a few things are still before the courts so can’t be directly commented on but there seems to be a mini spate of stories in this vein recently

Death is too good for her. Selfish, psycho murderer. Rot in hell. The poor family.

Maybe she was having some serious psychological issues, maybe

Even if, she murdered her two young sons and husband. That still justifies the term psycho murderer. It reminds me of that other shocking murder by Deirdre Morley a few weeks ago, who killed her three children and is trying to get out of culpability currently due to claims of mental impairment.

I disagree, I suspect there was some serious psychological issues going on there, and probably for some time, this woman was probably showing signs of severe distress for some time, what a tragedy

Not rushing to judgement until facts are established. Wise.

I agree with Assetbacked's general viewpoint, I think. Ive noticed almost no discussion in my (majority female) office workplace of either heinous crimes. Yet where a man does similar, like the teacher in Meath, we never hear the end of it. Rightly so. But the relative silence (of condemnation) tends to be deafening when it's a woman. A woman, a mother, is filled with only love so she must have been unhinged to act in such an unnatural way. Such narratives are indirectly insidious towards men.
God rest all concerned. But on Planet Earth she stands guilty (allegedly, you pedants) of a truly heinous act.

Is the first suggestion/explanation you always make everytime there is a murder or violent rape reported in the media?

More or less, yup, most perpetrators such as, would have serious underlying psychological disorders

There is a lot of truth in that, yes. A lot of people convicted of rape against women and children had themselves suffered abusive and violent childhoods.

But most people would not rush to defend the perpetrator of a such crimes when they first learn about them in the media - it's usually the opposite reaction surely?

Exactly, it’s time we got rid of the courts and prisons and just send these people off to see a doctor........

Something dark is going on in suburbs the world over it seems. These Murder suicide cases are becoming more and more frequent. And every time the same comments are made by people who knew them "She/he was the last person you'd suspect of doing something like this". This phenomenon needs to be studied and understood in order to finally get to the root cause. Its not a new thing either, been going on as far back as I can remember, only difference now it seems to be happening way more often. People living in domestic quiet desperation, cracking up and turning violent. It needs to end.

It's common to find the people have a personality disorder - think Jekyll and Hyde. Stress brings the irrational facet of the person to the fore, afterwards it recedes and the person behaves like 'normal'.

Oh ffs will you shut up. Mental issues always brought up when it's a woman doing the killing.
Anyone that kills their own flesh and blood is evil end of story.
